    What can we do? The people with the majority of the money and power believe he’s the second coming of tech Jesus. My own father, who cannot conceive of affording a cybertruck, took it personally when I mentioned the factual issues those rusting eyesores have. What am I to do against such reckless and willful ignorance?

      What can we do?

      Vocally call him the president, and Trump the VP or first lady.

      Both Trump and Musk are narcissists with massive egos, but only Trump was actually elected into a government position. If Trump’s ego gets bruised enough by hearing people think he’s Elon’s puppet, he might actually do something about it and kick him to the curb.
